Course Overview
The Year 10 Mathematics & Science program consolidates core concepts while introducing more advanced skills to prepare students for senior high school. In mathematics, students strengthen their algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics skills, while in science they deepen their understanding of physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences. The course focuses on problem-solving, practical applications, and building a strong foundation for Year 11.

Our Teaching Approach
All classes from Year 7 to Year 10 are taught by Sid, providing consistent guidance and a clear understanding of each student’s strengths and areas for improvement. Lessons are interactive, encouraging students to participate, ask questions, and develop confidence in their learning. Our program follows the school curriculum closely while building skills for future exams, with regular revision to consolidate knowledge. Sid focuses on showing students how to think through problems step-by-step, helping them build strong foundations, problem-solving skills, and a positive attitude towards learning.
